Dear Duncan,
Thank you for your lovely postcard. I really liked the picture on it, but your
granny didn’t. She doesn’t like monsters!
How funny! I visited Loch Ness when I was your age. I went with my dad
– your great-grandfather! We looked for Nessie, too. We went on a boat
around the lake with a fisherman, but nothing happened. We noticed
something moving in the water far away. We went closer, but there wasn’t
anything. We laughed – perhaps it was a big fish.
Yes, we had a great time at the weekend. We visited your mum and dad on
Sunday – they miss you a lot! We watched TV and had lunch in the garden.
We talked about you all the time.
See you next Friday!
Love,
Grandad Gerry

LIFE IN ROMAN TIMES

In the year 117, the Roman Empire was
very big and important and it covered
lots of different countries including
today’s Spain, France, Germany,
Greece, Turkey, Egypt and Croatia.
Part of Britain was also Roman and
Scotland was too, but for a shorter
time. The Romans were famous for
building very good roads, bridges
and dams*, for their laws and their
language. But what was life really like
back then? Let’s have a look.
School: Not all children had money to
go to a school in the town or have a
teacher at home. Even fewer girls went
to school; it was mostly boys who did.
In poor families, the children worked to
help their parents.
Toys: Children in Roman times
played with toys similar to the
ones you have: balls, dolls, toy
animals and board games.
They also had small letters
to practise their spelling.
Food: Romans liked eating
bread, vegetable soup, fish
and meat like sausages.
Poor people didn’t have
meat very often and they
didn’t have a kitchen in
their house. They cooked
their food at a bakery or had
something to eat in the market.
Did you know that there was
ice cream in those days?
*dam = a very strong wall that stops a river

1 Countries like Spain and Germany were part of the Roman Empire. _____
2 The Romans were very good builders. _____
3 In Roman times, girls usually had teachers at home. _____
4 Toys in Roman times and toys today are not very different. _____
5 Rich Romans had sausages and fish. _____
6 Poor Romans didn’t eat at all. _____

THREE GREAT PLACES IN SCOTLAND

Edinburgh: Come and visit this great city.
There are many green parks to have
picnics in and a fantastic castle to visit.
Come in August for the International
Festival of Music, Dance and Theatre. The
streets in the city centre are filled with
performers, colours and music. Every day
for three weeks, there are shows and
plays for everyone.
Glasgow: Bigger than any other city in
Scotland, this is the place to spend your
holiday. Edinburgh is perhaps prettier, but
there are so many things you can do here:
visit the Botanic Gardens or the museums
and galleries. The first football museum in
the world is here!
Stirling: Stirling is a small Scottish town,
but it’s got a lot of history. Visit the
National Wallace Monument. Here you
can see the sword that Wallace, the real
Braveheart, used. On a sunny day, come
to Blair Drummond Safari Park and see the
wild animal reserves and shows.

1 Simon: ‘I loved the Sea Lion show! I had a great time!’ _____
2 Tracey: ‘I wanted to walk in the park, but it was cloudy. I went to

the sports museum instead.’ _____

3 Peter: ‘My family and I went there in August. My children really

liked the wildlife.’ _____

4 Rachel and Fred: ‘We didn’t want to spend our holiday in a big city.

We went there because we are both actors.’ _____

5 Joe: ‘I like quiet places so I always go somewhere else in August.

This year, I went to see a little bit of Scottish history.’ _____
